With children, women, and families: facing challenges together to be a real community
In 2024, we strengthened our ties with the community by supporting two outstanding nonprofit organizations. We partnered with Associazione Arcobaleno, which supports women who are survivors of violence, by organizing a day at the Gardens of Ninfa. A small gesture to bring a bit of calm and closeness to people who have already been through so much.
Together with the nonprofit Istituto per la Famiglia, we also provided practical support to more than 200 families in difficulty. Beyond distributing food, we wanted to show up in a more direct way, with initiatives centered on listening, relationships, and the value of shared time.
Among our other 2024 initiatives, “Natale Bimbi,” now in its 3rd edition, was once again a truly special moment for us. 33 children wrote their letters to Santa, and thanks to I.C. Alfonso Volpi School in Cisterna—who made their gym available—we donated more than 70 toys, ensuring each child received two gifts, so their joy could be doubled.
Entertainment, a sleigh, reindeer, and a “Happy Meal” offered by the “McElves,” in partnership with the Cisterna di Latina McDonald’s through Banco Alimentare, completed a celebration that brought our community together.
In the end, the greatest gift isn’t the objects. It’s time, listening, and being present. And as always, giving also means receiving: every one of these initiatives leaves all of us with something more.
